I started a new blog tracking offensive comments on NOLA.com, the website that carries The Times Picayune's content. The website, called NO Comment, is my effort to highlight some of the terrible hate speech, slander, and general meanness of the anonymous, and sporadically moderated, comments on NOLA.com. I will also use the blog as a forum to discuss how other news organizations are dealing with these vexing issues.
Check it out.
